As part of Open Doors ‘Oxford Open Doors 2015- Books Libraries and Printing’ Angus Phillips will be joining us for a free talk on the subject of his latest book, ‘Turning the Page: Evolution of the Book’.
This is an exciting period for the book, a time of innovation, experimentation, and change. It is also a time of considerable fear within the book industry as it adjusts to changes in how books are created and consumed. The movement to digital has been taking place for some time, but with consumer books experiencing the transition, the effects of digitization can be clearly seen to everybody. In Turning the Page Angus Phillips analyses the fundamental drivers of the book publishing industry – authorship, readership, and copyright – and examines the effects of digital and other developments on the book itself.
To register your free place please email. The event will take place in the Norrington Room, Blackwell’s Bookshop, 48-51 Broad Street, Oxford, OX1 3BQ.
